if your do_login script doesn't require any cookies or session information
you can just redirect right after auth:
<?php //do_login.php
$url = "http://www.somewebsite.com";
//do stuff
if($loggedin == true){
header("Location: " . $url);
}
else{
//possible postback with get var error i.e: header("Location:
do_login.php?error=failedLogin")
}
?>
